Q: What size is the headband and how does it fit?
A: The band measures approximately 17 × 15 × 4 cm and is a padded, fixed shape. It is designed as one size to suit most adult head sizes. If you have a smaller head, wearing it slightly behind the hairline or anchoring with discreet grips can enhance the fit.

Q: Is it comfortable and heavy to wear for several hours?
A: Despite the sequin embellishment, the padded construction distributes pressure evenly and most wearers find it comfortable for events and evenings out. If you are sensitive to head pressure, adjust the position occasionally and avoid very tight hairstyles underneath.

Q: Will the sequins snag or pull on my hair?
A: The sequins are smooth-faced and sewn to sit flush, so snagging is uncommon with normal use. To minimise any risk, place the band over dry, detangled hair and avoid rough brushing against the embellishment.

Q: How should I care for and clean the sequins and fabric?
A: Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth after wear. For light marks, use a barely damp, lint-free cloth and dab—do not rub or soak. Keep perfumes, hairspray, and oils away from the sequins and lining as they can dull the finish. Never machine wash; avoid prolonged humidity and direct heat.

Q: How do I store this headband to keep its shape and shine?
A: Store in its Prada box, away from weight or pressure, with tissue supporting the padded sides. Keep it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to protect colour and sequins. Do not stack heavy items on top.

Q: How can I stop a headband from slipping during wear?
A: Wear on clean, dry hair; a light texturising spray or a couple of discreet hair grips placed under the band behind the ears improves hold. Position the band a finger’s width behind the hairline rather than directly on it for better stability.

Q: Is the headband adjustable or flexible?
A: It is a structured, padded band that is not adjustable, though it has a gentle flex to accommodate most head shapes. Avoid bending or twisting it to preserve the internal structure and embellishment.

Q: What occasions does this suit and how can I style it?
A: The black sequin finish adds refined sparkle, ideal for parties, weddings, and evening looks. It pairs beautifully with sleek hair, soft waves, or an updo. Keep other accessories minimal to let the headband stand out.
